Only when I laugh!

I am not so sure about the title of this post. I was going to elaborate but once I started realizing how uninteresting and sneaking up on stupid it was sounding. The short version of it is this – not many people have the comic timing, intuition to pull off the “Only when I laugh” line and still get a laugh. It’s been overdone and overdone poorly.

The reason I bring it up at all is that, I have some pain right now, only when I laugh!. Lemme tell ya, the irony of that made me laugh more. The pain it caused led to more and deeper laughing until I was in an exciting and confusing mix of pain and pleasure.

Seems that in my effort to get a bit healthier, along with the demands of doing massage for a living, building theater sets, trying to rehab a bad back, I am exercising more. Any at all is more but, I meant more than even just a little.

No – not some daily structured thing like it should be but, almost every day and as much as I can do and still function for the rest of my days’ commitments. Much to my surprise, it does feel good. Mostly.

It feels good right up until I do something wrong or something right but too much of it. Then it just freaking hurts! That is to say, later, a few hours or perhaps a full day, there is PAIN! Not like a stub your toe pain that comes on, hurts like hell for a bit then is gone but, a long-lasting, ache that becomes intense and toe-stub-like when certain actions, movements are made, attempted.

It just so happens that at this moment, the action that makes me hurt is laughter.

I think I will put on a very sad movie and workout some more. Maybe I can undo what I’ve done or at least make something else hurt worse than this!
